Outback Steakhouse? I guess I’m going to have to get some to go to see what it tastes like but really? Mac’s 1 and Brophy’s 2 if they would have been there I’m sure but I’ll give Outback the benefit of the doubt and try it I guess.

How I miss the New England Clam Chowder at Bray’s 101. Creamy, loads of clams, onions, celery, not a lot of potatoes. And I think they must have added a lot of Paprika, as the chowder was sort of pinkish.
In the here and now…chowder at Harry’s is really good.

You would be very surprised to taste how good the clam chowder at Outback is. For years my husband has been saying it is the best he tasted in town. I finally tried it &it was loaded with clams, not just big pieces of potato. I think it definitely has the daily quotion of sodium, maybe that’s what makes the flavor so good. They usually run out of this pretty quickly on the nights it is offered, so that can be a disappointment.
